I've read some bad reviews of this, so I went in expecting the worst. In all honesty, it was pretty good. Maybe not vintage Reacher, but this was solid. I think it helps when I can say I grew up close to where this all ends. I can visualize the area, know the towns. For me, it made it even more fun. The real question is, does Reacher make it to Virginia?...more

**spoiler alert** With a blurb by Lee Child right there on front, I just knew I had to read this book. Although I didn't fall completely in love like**spoiler alert** With a blurb by Lee Child right there on front, I just knew I had to read this book. Although I didn't fall completely in love like so many others have, I have to say this was an ejoyable ride. And yes, I will be checking out what he writes next.I'm gonna skip plot synopsis here and mention what I liked and didn't like here. What I did like was Windermere and Stevens managed to avoid the cliched get together and became solid partners. I also like how the author created Stevens to love and respect his wife-you don't see that much in crime novels. I liked the kids but I didn't totally buy it. Pender was the brains, but his heart belonged to Marie. And in the end, that's what does him in. I felt some of the kids were too dark but who knows what that lifestyle does for you in terms of psychological and mental changes.Overall, I would recommend this to those who like thrillers and mysteries. ...more

It was good to get this one and be able to sit down with Swagger. Been reading Hunter for the better part of a decade and always look forward to seeing what Bob Lee or his dad is up to in the latest book. This one is a solid book that feels a bit like going back to the Bob Lee we all fell in love with. Really enjoyed this one :)...more
